The best among all Aventus variations
Continuing with the effort of saying a few words about my most worn fragrances of 2024... and this was number 1, despite the late release.

Yes, this is another interpretation of the Aventus DNA but different enough to be its own thing - also (quite) different from SNOI, for those asking the question. On the other hand, I can't see much similarities to Aventus Absolu.
Currently, this is the Aventus "variation" that I like the most also including all the OGs... so, another hit by Afnan in my opinion.

The easiest way to describe it is: take the OG Aventus, remove the smokiness and add a fresh apple note (very similar to what you'd smell in Y EdP).

All in all, this is a fresh and modernised rendition of a classic, with great versatility in terms of occasions and seasons. Wear it when you're in jeans and t-shirt or at the office.
Good performance (8-10 hours) and decent projection for the first couple of hours.
Also not something that I often comment about, but the bottle is really cool!

Didn’t get it… until I did
Review: Supremacy Collector's Edition – AFNAN
I’m not a fragrance expert — I’m just a regular guy who enjoys trying new scents. I don’t know much about notes. I just say what I like and what I don’t.

First Impressions & Presentation
I haven’t tried Aventus Absolu, so I won’t be making any comparisons. This review is just about Supremacy Collector’s Edition on its own.
The first thing that surprised me was the presentation. For the price, the box looks really nice — elegant, well-designed, and with good materials. It gives you a good impression right away.

Scent & Development
I really liked the opening. It’s sweet and fruity, with a strong pineapple note in the first few minutes. It smells fresh and very enjoyable. Then you start to notice the green apple, bergamot, and a light floral vibe, which adds a nice fresh and slightly citrusy touch. If you like fruity-sweet openings, I think you’ll enjoy this one a lot.

After about 15 to 20 minutes, the scent starts to change. It becomes more floral and ambery. Then after around 30 minutes, it gets into the dry down (base notes), which is very different from the opening. That’s when the mossy and musky side kicks in. At first, I didn’t like it at all — I think it was the oakmoss — it felt too strong for me and I didn’t really get it. But after wearing it for a few days, I started to enjoy that part more. It smells more serious and deeper.

Recommendation
I wouldn’t recommend this as a blind buy, especially if you’re not familiar with musky, mossy, or ambery notes. If you don’t know what those smell like, it could catch you off guard. But if you’re just getting into fragrances and want to start training your nose, this could be a cool one to learn with. Personally, I didn’t like the dry down (base notes) at first, but after using it a few more times, I ended up liking it more.
And if you already bought it and didn’t like it the first time, don’t give up on it. Give it another try, wear it a couple more times. You might change your mind — that’s what happened to me.

Performance
I used 8 sprays and got around 12 hours of longevity on skin, which I think is really solid. It had good projection in the first few hours, although I was a bit congested, so I’m not 100% sure how strong it was.

Occasion & Price
To me, this is a very versatile fragrance. You can wear it for pretty much any occasion, but I think it works especially well in warm weather or summer. Even in the heat, it smells elegant, which is a nice bonus.
I paid $37 on Amazon, and for what it gives you, I think it’s a great deal.

NOTE: Just to clarify — I wrote this myself. I only used AI to help with structure and wording. The thoughts are all mine.

Fresher Absolu Aventus
Opening is definitely identical but it fades away quick to fresher version of Absolu Aventus.
Absolu Aventus has a more darker green and intense dry down, compared to Supremacy CE.
I think Supremacy CE is more wearable in Summer and fresher because of Ambergris and more clean Moss.
Price and Scent wise, I'd definitely go with Supremacy CE.
Im not sure if I could easily say if it's blind buy worthy, but if you like fruity and mossy perfumes, go for it. If you've tried Absolu Aventus, Supremacy CE is slightly fresher and more wearable.

Wow!
Just wow. Even the first spray just out of the box was amazing. I immediately picked up a burst of pineapple (much better than the one in CDNIM) blended with bergamot, white florals, and fruits. It's smooth, not harsh at all (was afraid of another CDNIM edt opening).
I haven’t smelled Aventus Absolu, but I can understand why some compare this fragrance to Sauvage Elixir. It gave me a similar vibe but lighter, more wearable and in my opinion, even better. That is what I would like Elixir to be. This is something you can wear all year round although I woudn't spray a lot in high heat.
I picked it up for $60 in my country and honestly, they could sell it for $200 based on the quality alone. very impressed!

too sweet, straights beware
too sweet for my liking. the opening is way better than the dry down. the dry down is very feminine i cannot stand it. this is the type of fragrances that you would love to smell in the air and on other people but would not wear yourself. when i smelled it in the shop i really liked its opening over supremacy not only intense, but as the top notes evaporated i was left with a sweet, cloying, feminine scent. not only intense is way manly than this.

Does not smell like a clone at all. Great replacement for Absolu Aventus. Not the same but close enough. Still prefer SNOI a little more.

Sweet, fruity and fresh at first, then turns deeper and more mossy. Took me a few wears to fully enjoy the dry down.
